libcamera: pipeline_handler: Add camera disconnection support
Pipeline handlers are responsible for creating camera instances, but also for destroying them when devices are unplugged. As camera objects are reference-counted this isn't a straightforward operation and involves the camera manager and camera object itself. Add two helper methods in the PipelineHandler base class to register a camera and to register a media device with the pipeline handler. When registering a camera, the registerCamera() helper method will add it to the camera manager. When registering a media device, the registerMediaDevice() helper method will listen to device disconnection events, and disconnect all cameras created by the pipeline handler as a response. Under the hood the PipelineHandler class needs to keep track of registered cameras in order to handle disconnection. They can't be stored as shared pointers as this would create a circular dependency (the Camera class owns a shared pointer to the pipeline handler). Store them as weak pointers instead. This is safe as a reference to the camera is stored in the camera manager, and doesn't get removed until the camera is unregistered from the manager by the PipelineHandler.
